The lizardfish gets its name from its elongated body and relatively broad head, similar to that of a lizard. Sandperch, on the other hand, gets its name from the fact that it is commonly found in sandy areas close to the shore. Sand smelt, as the name suggests, is a slender fish found in sandy areas near the coast. Finally, the sand stargazer gets its name from its upward-facing eyes, which it uses to hunt prey buried in the sand.
